[quote=ZOEY,269770]Zhou Youguang, a 102-year old linguist has worked on the research and application of pinyin for almost half a century. He said the speed of the popularization of pinyin was amazing and pinyin was used not only in education but also industry and commerce. It used to be regarded only as a tool for learning characters in primary schools, but now it serves as a communication tool. It used to be the key to Chinese culture, but now it is a bridge linking China to the whole world.

"As a cultural tool, Pinyin is easy to learn and use and meets the needs of times, so it can spread all by itself," Zhou added.
 
The popularization of pinyin is a demonstration of the development of China. Now more international students are learning Mandarin and Chinese culture.

"Hanyu Pinyin not only belongs to China but also belongs to the world. It is now everywhere in our daily lives," Wang said, "Pinyin will continue playing an important role in the modernization of China."
